Sadly, there are very few default scripting/coding utilities on a fresh windows and doing
such a thing in a command line and notepad is somewhat frustrating.
I believe it is possible to use Windows Script Host to do this, but it is the only way I can think of that is "somewhat reasonable" and doesnt involve writing shellcode in command
prompt using default utilities to hardcode an executable...

If I had to do something like this, I would stick to microsoft office, or if you do not
have that installed, you can try using Dynamic HTML in notepad and run the slideshow
in a browser, as most browsers can support old-style Dynamic HTML, and internet explorer comes with any windows platform, this can be done.

Also, you can try using a batch script to open a certain image in a certain interval, and reset afterwards (dont know how), but this would be a pain as well.

The most elegant solution I would imagine would be Dynamic HTML... although it does not "particularly" use a command prompt...

Almost definitely yes. But you have not been very specific about what you want.

A less-conventional solution, if you have a web site, is one of the power-point-like web presentations. Here are example presentations of two different technologies: Slidy and S5.

You mentioned notepad, so you're probably running Windows. If you install Cygwin, you can write a small bash script to run in a bash shell (a very powerful replacement for the DOS/CMD window) that would pop up a picture, wait and pop up another. I just wrote this little script that I ran just now. It's very limited, but it works.
